Abstract
Wads are components of shotgun cartridges used for transferring to pellets or slugs the kinetic energy produced during the combustion chain which takes place as the trigger is pulled by the shooter. The hull of the cartridge falls in the vicinities of the gun, so it is easy for a malicious shooter to cancel this particular trace from a crime scene. However, the wad is projected to an intermediate point between the shooter and the victim, it is easily lost, and so it can be useful as a trace containing information on the type of ammunition used by a shooter and possibly a convenient item for comparison with analogous objects found in the premises of a suspect. In this paper, various analytical approaches, such as thermal analysis, infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction were employed in order to discriminate apparently similar commercial wads. Samples that had previously been fired and pristine samples were examined, verifying that the energy, temperature and pressure associated to the combustion of the powder in the bore does not bring about appreciable changes in the polymer structure, thus allowing to use this approach in casework.

Abstract
The dependency on nonbiodegradable-based food packaging, increase in population growth, and persistent environmental problems are some of the driving forces in considering the development of biodegradable food packaging. This effort of green packaging has the potential to solve issues on plastic wastes through the combination of biodegradable composite-based food packaging with plant extracts, nanomaterials, or other types of polymer. Modified biodegradable materials have provided numerous alternatives for producing green packaging with mechanical strength, thermal stability, and barrier performance that are comparable to the conventional food packaging. To the best of our knowledge, the performance of nonbiodegradable and biodegradable composites as food packaging in terms of the above properties has not yet been reviewed. In this context, the capability of biodegradable polymers to substitute the nonbiodegradable polymers was emphasized to enhance the packaging biodegradation while retaining the mechanical strength, thermal stability, barrier properties, and antioxidant and antimicrobial or antibacterial activity. These are the ultimate goal in the food industry. This review will impart useful information on the properties of food packaging developed from different polymers and future outlook toward the development of green food packaging.

Highly porous polycaprolactone scaffolds doped with calcium silicate and dicalcium phosphate dihydrate designed for bone regeneration. MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING. C, MATERIALS FOR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS 2019; 102:341-361. [PMID: 31147007 DOI: 10.1016/j.msec.2019.04.040] [Citation(s) in RCA: 33] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/28/2018] [Revised: 01/31/2019] [Accepted: 04/12/2019] [Indexed: 01/24/2023]
Abstract
Polycaprolactone (PCL), dicalcium phosphate dihydrate (DCPD) and/or calcium silicates (CaSi) have been used to prepare highly porous scaffolds by thermally induced phase separation technique (TIPS). Three experimental mineral-doped formulations were prepared (PCL-10CaSi, PCL-5CaSi-5DCPD, PCL-10CaSi-10DCPD); pure PCL scaffolds constituted the control group. Scaffolds were tested for their chemical-physical and biological properties, namely thermal properties by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), mechanical properties by quasi-static parallel-plates compression testing, porosity by a standard water-absorption method calcium release, alkalinizing activity, surface microchemistry and micromorphology by Environmental Scanning electronic Microscopy (ESEM), apatite-forming ability in Hank Balanced Saline Solution (HBSS) by Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX) and micro-Raman, and direct contact cytotoxicity. All mineral-doped scaffolds released calcium and alkalinized the soaking medium, which may favor a good biological (osteogenic) response. ESEM surface micromorphology analyses after soaking in HBSS revealed: pure PCL, PCL-10CaSi and PCL-10CaSi-10DCPD kept similar surface porosity percentages but different pore shape modifications. PCL-5CaSi-5DCPD revealed a significant surface porosity increase despite calcium phosphates nucleation (p < 0.05). Micro-Raman spectroscopy detected the formation of a B-type carbonated apatite (Ap) layer on the surface of PCL-10CaSi-10DCPD aged for 28 days in HBSS; a similar phase (but of lower thickness) formed also on PCL-5CaSi-5DCPD and PCL; the deposit formed on PCL-10CaSi was mainly composed of calcite. All PCL showed bulk open porosity higher than 94%; however, no relevant brittleness was observed in the materials, which retained the possibility to be handled without collapsing. The thermo-mechanical properties showed that the reinforcing and nucleating action of the inorganic fillers CaSi and DCPD improved viscoelastic properties of the scaffolds, as confirmed by the increased value of storage modulus and the slight increase in the crystallization temperature for all the biomaterials. A detrimental effect on the mechanical properties was observed in samples with the highest amount of inorganic particles (PCL-10CaSi-10DCPD). All the scaffolds showed absence of toxicity, in particular PCL-10CaSi-10DCPD. The designed scaffolds are biointeractive (release biologically relevant ions), nucleate apatite, possess high surface and internal open porosity and can be colonized by cells, creating a bone forming osteoblastic microenvironment and appearing interesting materials for bone regeneration purposes.

Abstract
Design strategies from nature provide vital clues for the development of synthetic materials with tunable mechanical properties. Employing the concept of hierarchy and controlled percolation, a new class of polymer nanocomposites containing a montmorillonite (MMT)-reinforced electrospun poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) filler embedded within a polymeric matrix of either poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) or ethylene oxide-epichlorohydrin copolymer (EO-EPI) were developed to achieve a tunable mechanical response upon exposure to specific stimuli. Mechanical response and switching times upon hydration were shown to be dependent on the weight-fraction of MMT in the PVA electrospun fibers and type of composite matrix. PVA/MMT.PVAc composite films retained excellent two-way switchability for all MMT fractions; however, the switching time upon hydration was decreased dramatically as the MMT content was increased due to the highly hydrophilic nature of MMT. Additionally, for the first time, significant two-way switchability of PVA/MMT.EO-EPI composites was achieved for higher weight fractions (12 wt %) of MMT. An extensive investigation into the effects of fiber diameter, crystallinity, and MMT content revealed that inherent rigidity of MMT platelets plays an important role in controlling the mechanical response of these hierarchical electrospun composites.
